Cuyahoga county informal commercial real estate valuation appeal window open

Cuyahoga County commercial real estate properties are currently undergoing the sexennial reassessment in Ohio. The informal notices of reassessed value have been sent to property owners and investors, opening the window of appeal. All informal appeals for tax year 2024, payable in 2025, must be submitted to the Cuyahoga County Assessor’s office by Aug. 30, 2024. After this date, values are solidified and your only course of action is to file a complain with the Board of Revision between Jan. 1, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

Under Ohio state law, counties are required to complete a county-wide reappraisal of commercial, industrial, and residential properties every six years. View the complete reappraisal schedule for all 88 counties in Ohio, including which counties are being reassessed alongside Cuyahoga, here.
